TikToker Geoffrey fumes at people who only started calling him after relocating to Germany
Germany-based Kenyan TikToker Geoffrey has expressed frustration over what he describes as excessive and inappropriate calls from people attempting to reach him at odd hours, especially while he is live on TikTok.
Speaking during a late-night live session at around 2:54 a.m., Geoffrey questioned why some individuals, like TikToker Mkamba, expect long conversations over the phone yet fail to respect personal boundaries and timing.

“My number is not to be called anyhow. I even see someone asking in the comments why I hang up calls. Why should I speak to you for long hours, yet it is midnight, 2:54?” he wondered.
He said that he does not respond to calls from unknown or unprepared contacts, insisting that people should instead send messages explaining their intentions before attempting to reach him directly.
Geoffrey further stated that his phone number is not to be “called anyhow,” adding that people should respect his privacy, especially when he is visibly engaged in a live session online.
“For people who call me from nowhere, just know that with me you will have to call and send messages for weeks before I can even respond. You cannot just call me at this hour,” he added.
He explained that some callers fail to consider time differences and personal schedules, noting that receiving calls at midnight is not appropriate.
The TikToker emphasised that communication should be intentional, saying that callers should first text and clearly state what they want before expecting a response.
“To be honest, you should at least send a message first and say what you want because you can clearly see I am live on TikTok. Don’t call me. My number is not to be called anyhowly,” Geoffrey said.
Geoffrey also hinted at his personal journey, saying that people were not present when he struggled to secure his visa to travel to Germany, implying that some of the current attention and calls are unnecessary.
“You were not with me when I searched for my visa to come here to Germany,” he said.
Geoffrey’s fears
Separately, Geoffrey, popularly known on the video-sharing app as comedian Choffri, opened up about the deep fears that haunt him while living and working abroad.
“I wondered what would happen if I died now, yet my family hasn’t received the support they need. I worried whether they would be able to fund the repatriation of my body from here,” he said.
The content creator explained that this fear has motivated him to work tirelessly online and save as much money as possible, ensuring that he can provide his family with the financial security he believes they deserve.
“That’s why I push myself to stay online, put in the effort, earn money, and give my family a good life so that they can be happy,” he shared.
He described how he has witnessed the toll that financial hardship has taken on his younger siblings, noting how he felt his younger brother looked older than him due to the stresses of poverty.
“For example, I recently saw my younger brother looking older than me, even though I am older than him. I realised it was because they don’t have money. Sometimes, money can make a person look younger and healthier. I don’t like seeing my family age prematurely; I want them to look smart and well, even though we grew up without much. Once I come to Kenya, I plan to do a lot for them,” he said.
